Videos with swearing

Hey, scottish (Habbic/Scott) just posted a thread with a video, i'm not sure which one and it got removed for excessive swearing and he gave a warning too. Videos with one swear is fine but some with a few bits of swearing get removed? He put a warning so if a user that doesn't like swearing clicks it then it's their problem, not his as they shouldn't have clicked it and it's not as if it's on auto play either.

I think you should allow videos with excessive swearing but the user HAS TO put a warning before it and put it in a spoiler or they recieve a warning/infraction.

Scott's thread: http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=659753

The video had loads of swearing in it, it wasn't just mild swearing it was really inappropriate so I agree the video should have been removed. Any video that contains swearing the user has to put a warning.

This is the rule:

A2. Do not post inappropriately ~ Habbox Forum has an audience that includes younger members, and as such all content must be suitable for those members. You must not:

• Talk about adult subjects in an explicit manner.
• Swear or avoid the forum filter in any way (including by using abbreviations)
• Post images, videos or links that with inappropriate content like gore, nudity, obscenity or annoyance.

Mildly inappropriate content (never anything rated 18+) is allowed where sufficient warning is added into the post and the image or link is placed within a spoiler. The final decision on what is or is not inappropriate is at the Moderator's discretion

Only mild inappropriate content is allowed, the video in question here had words which are not allowed on the forum in any circumstances.

In most cases, videos with a few swearwords in are allowed although there are a few words which are not even to be mentioned once, these words are incredibly offensive, not mild and will never be permitted.

We will not allow videos with excessive swearing, and that comes down to the same argument about the Forum Filter, what's the point in the forum filter if we allow excessive swearing in videos with a warning? Just no. Hearing the words is worse than seeing them.

You have to remember that Habbo's target audience is quite young (meaning most people on this forum are young too). This is one of the main reasons this rule is enforced I believe. Moderate swearing is allowed where a spoiler & warning is allowed - which I think is fair enough personally.

The rules are pretty clear on it too:

He clearly stated in the thread title it contains swearing though. If the user clicked play then it's their problem.

either allow swearing or dont

if ******* dont wanna see swearing dont visit the ******* thread called 'contains swearing' if they do and cry about swearing then they clearly suffer downs or something...

It would be like visiting a thread saying 'click here for a virus on your computer'. They enter the thread at their own risk.

the song was the game - 120 bars

for those little girls who cant take swearing, dont ******* search it.

Saying the N word or the F word etc isnt 18+?

Most 10 year olds swear now....

When there are disclaimers saying 'contains swearing', this is supposed to inform the user that the video contains mild swearing, and if they watch it to find out that it is very severe and continuous swearing, i'm sure some will be very offended.

That video was not suitable for the general audience of this forum.

erm

if someone cant take swearing then they shouldnt read the contains swearing thread no matter what, otherwise they are just severely ******ed and should be put down the idiots.
